Daytona Ref. 116520 "Classic White"

The white dial Daytona.

Reference 116520 pairs the defining architecture of the modern steel Daytona with a monochromatic combination: a white dial, silvered subdials which blend with the stainless case, and a flash of signature red script.

Introduced in 2000, the 116520 was the first Cosmograph to house Rolex’s 4130 movement, replacing the Zenith-based caliber used since 1988. Produced through 2016, it remains the most recognized steel Daytona reference of its generation, offered in just two standard dial colors: black and white. The white version has crisp legibility and a dressier wrist presence.

This example comes on its full steel Oyster bracelet with the reference’s engraved tachymeter bezel. White dial 116520s are traded less frequently than their black counterparts, making this a sought-after model in excellent, ready-to-wear condition.
